Comment
The coin pictured was issued by the Hatien (Vietnam) municipal mint in the 1750-60's. It is incorrectly identified in Toda. Barker shows it (#111.1) in reference to the Toda listing. His #111.2 is a possible coin of this rebel, but that also matches a group of private cash with assorted inscriptions. NO coin can be confidently attributed to this rebel. Toda did not even know Dang Trong issued coins at all. He briefly mentions their 200 year kingdom as a rebel situation, no coins. They had dozens of royal cast issues, and about a thousand local and private ones.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Lê Văn Khôi Rebellion, a dynastic rebellion that took place in Vietnam from 1833 to 1834. The rebellion was led by Lê Văn Khôi, a Vietnamese prince who was dissatisfied with the ruling Nguyễn dynasty and sought to overthrow them and establish a new dynasty. Despite the rebellion's failure, the coin remains an important historical artifact and a symbol of Vietnam's rich cultural heritage.
